Wonderful campsite right outside of Durango! It felt secluded while in a convenient enough proximity to the town if you forgot to pack anything. The site host was so helpful. Highly recommend!
@RodneyL7566985 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #12
We could only stay overnight. We noticed the campsite was very well kept. Its location close to Durango made accessibility to downtown events available.

Junction Creek CG was amazing! The campsites were well spaced for privacy. The wooded site, hilly terrain, wildlife and stars made for an incredible 5 days. The campsite was clean, had a grate on the firepit for cooking and a four ft. hook to keep equipment/supplies off the ground. We made day trips to Silverton, Ouray, Mesa Verde, Pagosa Springs and Durango during our stay. Bathroom vaults were very clean, but wish it had showers and a place to wash dishes. Camp hosts were awesome and extremely helpful. We are definitely coming back!

@DanielC8838163 · Camped on Aug 13, 2024 at Campsite #4
the site was pristine, including the site and the vault toilets. The host was very friendly. overall, a very good experience.
@JonS9305851 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #14
Very nice place. The best thing was the campground hosts. They were always around cleaning or raking.
@JenniferV36797 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #8
Loved the camping experience here. It is so clean, quiet and beautiful. Campsites are spread out and the restrooms are very clean. We will be going back!
@SusanD7512883 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #11
Our campsite 11C was clean and tidy. Bathroom was very clean and no smell. Quiet at night in our loop. Easy access to Colorado Trail.
@AmandaS6104080 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #8
Junction Creek is a beautiful campground. Well maintained and friendly camp hosts.
@Katharine3A9A5 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #11
Quiet sites that are nicely spaced apart. Pit toilets were very clean. Campground was quiet during nighttime hours. Plenty of shade at the site. Only downside was the dusty, washboard dirt road the last couple of miles up to the campground.
@PatrickA432209 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #2
This has become one of our favorite campsites! Quiet, VERY CLEAN!! Just absolutely amazing spot
@stevenb5011158 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #14

@KennethK904423 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #1
Very Nice place to spend several days. The camp hosts were wonderful. The camping spots were maintained in an excellent manner. I would recommend this park to anyone whether travel trailer fifth wheel motorhome and even tent camping!

3rd year for our company picnic. Always clean and just perfect for our needs- power, parking activity space.
@TommyCA4A440F5 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #4
The grounds were well maintained, we noticed the bathrooms were recently cleaned when we went to use them in the morning. Beautiful campsite and plenty of room between sites. The only complaint we have was we felt as though we were being rushed out. Check out is at noon and we noticed the grounds keeper making frequent rounds which got more frequent as noon approached and staring us down. We paid to stay until noon so we are entitled to such, without feeling as though we are overstaying our welcome. That has never been our experience at other campgrounds (we were on a week-long camping trip all over Colorado). This was our honeymoon and the last leg of our trip. Based on the long list of rules left on the table, they've likely had troubles with guests in the past. I appreciate the need for rules but the way they were written (we won't hesitate to contact this agency, police, etc. if this is observed... no "welcome," "hello," "we hope you enjoy," basically nothing that signals that they care about the guest feeling welcome or joyful, very strictly written. We thought it was weird but didn't dwell on it much because we are respectful guests. We wouldn't be surprised if the same person circling us on the golf cart wrote those rules too. Kind of dampened the mood, but if you can look past all that, you'll have a good time.

Ive stayed here a couple of times over the last couple of years and it has always been a great experience. Sites and bathrooms are clean and well maintained. I will definitely stay there again
@AmieHE52FF71E0 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #4
Amazing campground, very clean, every site was a winner! Highly recommend Junction Creek.
@BrianG7865186 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #12
Beautiful campsite. Hosts excellent.
@StefanieO066AA · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #10
Excellent back in site, nicely wooded with privacy. Camped with small teardrop and had just enough driveway space for that and tow vehicle, which was perfect for us. A few rock stair-steps up to picnic table and fire pit - again, super private! Clean spaces, well kept by hosts, and had spotless vault toilets. Firewood for sale on site (pay station, self-serve). This and site 3 are our favorite sites here so far.
@BekkiFF8FC193F · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #11
Quiet campground with spacious sites. Hiking and mountain biking straight from campground.
@SuzanneD167452 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #5
Clean and spacious. The campsite is also close to some excellent hikes.
@TedB36F66CB788 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #5
Beautiful setting, exceptionally clean bathrooms. Zero privacy within this campground, regardless of loop or site number. If you are looking for a campsite out of site from neighbors forget about it! Location to Durango and several trailheads is 5 stars.
@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #2
Clean and friendly
@WarriorB7D6DB3 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #G2

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
